How to use fewer colors for Widget-app-window? [message #1639]

Greetings from the North, (man, it's been cold lately, hasn't it?)

I'm developing a Widget-based application, and in order not to use the
whole 200+ color table values, I want to explicitly request only 8
colors for the window that is created when I do:

WIDGET_CONTROL, my_window_widget, /REALIZE

I know that this number-of-colors request is typically done using:

WINDOW, /FREE, COLORS=8 ; (before any other windows are brought up)

But to have to bring up and then destroy a window when bringing up my
widget app is, shall we say, tacky. Any other suggestions?
